Excuse me…

Could some one please help me? I think I have lost a month somewhere? It starts with A, has 30 days and has totally slipped away on me. Thanks.
Yes, April slipped by me and I did no machine sewing at all, let alone UFO finishing. What was I doing? Well, the first 10 days were part of our vacation on the west coast. I did take along some hand work and sew a few pieces on my long, long time Double Wedding Ring project but nothing significant. Most of the time it was simpler to knit.
And I did give away two quilts that were finished in March.

The Bricks and Stepping Stones ( a free pattern on Bonnie’s blog).





Quilting the Streak of Sunshine (transportation)
Last post I had been dithering about the quilting on this one. I opted to quilt a quarter inch on both sides of the seam. Something I had seen on other quilts and it worked very well.

When we returned from vacation I did start cutting a new quilt for my niece’s wedding present. This one is going to be from Jo’s book, her Bohemian Rhapsody. And since I am trying to get all the pieces cut  before I sew, it is still on the cutting table. Which has been changed out twice in the past three weeks. This has resulted in a lot of moving around and reorganizing but has resulted in more floor space and a higher cutting surface.
The rest of the month had been occupied in yard work as the weather permitted. We have lots to do and needed to be out doing it when it ever possible.
I do hope to have more UFOs completed this month. In the moving of boxes to accommodate the table shuffle  a few almost complete tops surfaced and I am trying to finish them off.  Got one to a  finished top stage .

This is the “Big Block” quilt made with Kaffe Fasset fabrics, I was working on before we moved.  It just needed the top and bottom borders, which I put together yesterday. Part of the urge to finish it off was to free up fabrics for cutting the the Bohemian Rhapsody.
And now to link up with Jo at Jo's Country Junction.com and see what she’s been working on.
